A multi-platform photo essay designed for Muscatine Parks and Recreation, highlighting the city-wide trail system. I managed the full creative pipeline, from capturing images on-site to final production for web and print. The resulting mockups illustrate a high-resolution, print-ready design that bridges the gap between digital photography and physical media.

While shooting, I navigated inconsistent natural lighting by using Photoshop to balance exposures and maintain a vibrant, cohesive aesthetic. During the InDesign production phase, I addressed a technical overlap involving parent page structures and background patterns, refining my understanding of master page hierarchies and print-ready exporting. The final mockups, created in Illustrator, demonstrate a narrative-driven approach to this promotion.
